My good buddy Jay Reilly is doing a one-day seminar focusing on doing a photobooth-style portrait setup at weddings and events on November 14, 2008.  Jay has a bitchin little studio literally a couple blocks from the pier in Oceanside, CA (which picks up NW swells pretty well – good place to surf in the early winter! ;)  Jay knows his stuff, has a lot of experience doing this sorta setup in the real world, and can back it up with technical chops honed as an advertising shooter.  This is a really unique event, the cost is reasonable, and it will open up a lot of creative possibilities at your events.  If you’re interested in learning about setting up and executing a portrait station at your weddings, then go learn how from Jay!

One of Jay’s Images – this is the stuff you’ll be learning how to make!

Also, in case everyone has forgotten, I loved doing a similar setup back when I was shooting weddings, and have archived some of the work at www.dougboutwell.com… some of my favorite images from the past couple years have been shot with the same kinda technique – I think my style has always been a little stiffer and drawn its quirkiness from the tension between the formality of the setting and the oddness of the juxtapositions of its characters, but it isn’t nearly as saleable as what Jay does, nor what Nate and Jac do.  Anyway – a couple of my faves from 2007:

(alright, I have no idea why my blog is being fucking retarded and not displaying my images… sorry!)
